Just amazing went to China PCB Prototype & PCB Fabrication Manufacturer - JLCPCB followed the very well explained data on how to format the gerbers. Zip them, upload them to the website and all sorts of magic just happens. £5 + £15 shipping for 5x and 6 days later they are here!
Assembled the board - one channel fine one channel distorted. Missed a very short track from the plate of the ECC88 to the transformer connector. Bother - easy to fix. Had done some swapping of the valves when trying out a 90deg rotation and forgot to do the schematic DRC.
Only tried of bench supply but regs are working so will need to check hum with mains transformers.
I would also change a couple of footprints I used the difficult to solder inline TO92 to TO92L. As a test board have learned a lot. Very pleased with KiCad and the China PCB - would suggest giving it a go.

If you're impressed with JLCPCB, check out LCSC too. I've had no complaints - quality or otherwise so far.
Also, EasyEDA - Online PCB design & circuit simulator is so far the easiest way I've found to do design.
